My family made a big deal about education to the point where Dad has established a charity fund for educating kids in Pakistan in a non-religious environment. IMHO, it's the best way to get people out of poverty and towards independence.


That's awesome, man.

So Dad has been running the charity as pretty much a local thing and never thought of an internet link for payment (he's in his 80's :) ). The good news is when I talked to him about this, he's going to look into making one, so I'll keep you updated if you want :cheers:

Some of you boys have not redeemed your GCs...please do so before next July otherwise Kiva just takes my money. While I don't have too strong of a preference either way I would rather have it used in the team. Angry Inch, Deranged Clown, Montreal Blogger, Long suffering Leafs fan check your Kiva accounts.

I just added some credit to mine and will start lending again, it's been a loooooong time so I'll have to see where to go unless the Team already has someone in mind.

Seriously!? How have so many of you not used the $25 gift cards I sent you!

Saskhab, Hounsy, Mental Health Clown, E.L., James1345....not sure who that was (Sam, Steven).

C'mon now! Log in and donate to booze before Jul 1st or Kiva keeps your money!

Says mine was redeemed, and I have loans that I made last July and later, so I think that's legit... not sure why it's saying mine has not been claimed. Won't let me use the card in any case!

Bros....I am going to buy a goat for folks.

Join me if you wish

https://www.worldvision.org/

Hmmm...more research may be necessary. I would like a picture of said Goat and family...not just the promise of give me your money and trust me I will buy a goat for people in need.

damn boys! I log into Kiva today and I have $115 ready to loan! Time to get busy! Looks like Skip is leading the way for Chicks with Booze! How cool would it be to show up and drink a beer at one of these places someday? Peru is doable!

Kiva is an easy way to make a real difference in someone's life. Will you join me in helping Doris in Ibague to pursue their dream? https://www.kiva.org/invitedby/harmfulj ... armfuljays

Pade Sabari Kadi Group's loan is over halfway there on Kiva – only $395 to go! https://www.kiva.org/invitedby/harmfulj ... armfuljays

Jane is crowdfunding a loan on Kiva — Let's get them to 48% today! https://www.kiva.org/invitedby/harmfulj ... armfuljays

Here is our team impact page

I just want to give you all a pat on the back.....We've been doing this for over 15 years now (my first loan was in 2007)...and you know it doesn't seem like much but we've loaned out $12,500 dollars over that time frame and today we cross the 500 loan mark, all for good causes I might add. Give yourselves a hand! And I still don't know how 5 of you missed the $25 gift card! I suppose it makes up for my lack of Donations to Kiva itself.

If anyone that still comes around is interested in joining the team here is the link:

I haven't logged in for a while and have a ton of credit to loan. In on all three of those, Harms.
